The Material List

Travertine, linen, glass — the surfaces we work against.

Chapter 02The Material List

Every photograph begins with the room. Every room begins with a material list.

Travertine. Linen. Unpolished glass. Water at rest. Chrome, softly diffused. These are the surfaces we return to.

Their common inheritance is a refusal to reflect too much — a quiet way of holding light rather than throwing it back. This is the atmosphere in which we prefer the work to be seen.

We have never worked with flowers, glitter, or coloured props. We have never used bright, direct light. The intention is not austerity; it is precision.
